Federal Government has secured an agreement with Ethiopia that will allow more than 100 Nigerians serving prison sentences in the East African country to be transferred home to complete their jail terms in Nigeria.
Gatekeepers News reports that the development follows the signing of a prisoner transfer agreement between both countries in Addis Ababa.
The agreement covers Nigerians currently incarcerated in Ethiopia’s Kaliti and Aba Samuel prisons and will enable them to serve the remainder of their sentences in Nigeria.
Videos circulating online showed some Nigerian inmates celebrating the signing of the transfer deal, expressing hope that they would soon be reunited with their families after years in Ethiopian custody.
